Statues (Single Version)

there once was a girl who loved you

more than you’ll ever believe

she became her own work of art

for you she wished to please

she sculpted herself to your tastes

whittled herself away

until one day she disappeared

an empty body

with a pretty face

the tears she cried for you

they carved away her soul

and you

you just sat and stared

and you said nothing at all

and you said nothing at all

and you said nothing at all

forever fearful she was

that you would look the other way

lay eyes upon another

and no longer want to stay

she could never be enough

for only you she tried

but there was always one statue

fairer

placed there by her side

the tears she cried for you

they carved away her soul

and you

you just sat and stared

and you said nothing at all

and you said nothing at all

and you said nothing at all

when she started to crumble

when her sharp detail began to decay

when all that was left of her faded

you got up

and you walked away

and you walked away

and you walked away

and you walked away

and you walked away
